Perfectly Matched

His life runs like clockwork. Hers is a spontaneous
adventure.
But God's timing is always perfect.

Anna Olsen knows it's time to leave her sister's increasingly crowded house and
start a life of her own. Following both sisters' examples, she becomes a
mail-order bride, and after a short correspondence with clock maker and jeweler
Edward Parker, she moves to Denver
to become his wife.

Almost immediately it's painfully apparent that Anna and Edward are very
different. Anna is a free spirit who would rather be painting and enjoying the
company of friends than cleaning house. Edward is a consummate perfectionist
who, on their wedding day, hands Anna a list of chores that need to be done
around the house daily.

Can this mismatched couple see past their differences to a harmonious future?
Or will their disparate passions create obstacles neither is willing to
surmount?

PERFECTLY MATCHED is the third book in Ms. Brendan’s The Blue Willow Brides series, but it
easily stands alone. Fans will want to read Twice
Promised and Deeply Devoted as
well. I loved the other two books in this series, and loved PERFECTLY MATCHED
as well.

Anna is independent, smart, and naïve. Edward is a
stick-in-the-mud. Stuck in his ways, easily upset, and fiercely detailed. I
must admit I didn’t care too much for Edward, but he and Anna did compliment
each other, and he did grow and change. Two other romances happened inside the
pages of this book, which added a nice touch.
I enjoyed getting to know Anna and Edward in the pages of this book.
Don’t miss PERFECTLY MATCH. I read the book through in a day, it was that good.
$14.99. 352 pages. 4.5 stars.
